Ivan Toney cut an untoward figure in his own reception at Al-Ahli as fans chanted his name after his transfer for a staggering £40 million from Brentford. In a move that witnessed Toney head to Saudi Arabia to join forces with Al-Ahli, saw him caught in a very awkward encounter with his early set of fans.
A clip that went viral on social media saw Ivan Toney being greeted by his fans and then a song comprising chants ensued. Toney was slightly baffled by the entire development but was quick to come to grips with the entire situation and quickly started nodding along with the audience.
Even though his expressions weren’t promising, the fans still seemed enthused. They questioned him on the internet about what he was able to understand but appreciated that freewheeling spirit of his. Toney has always been a fun-loving soul and his jolly presence has formerly raised the spirits while his goal-scoring prowess elevated the fans.
Toney was an absolute scoring sensation for a while where Brentford rated him at £100m. He was being targeted by the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea. Unfortunately, his form dropped and he could barely sustain his goal-scoring prowess. He was a part of Brentford for four years, where he played 141 matches, scoring 72 goals.
Here is what X had to say about Ivan Toney
The fans on X were trying to decode the fact to what made Ivan Toney groove to the music. Even though it was more of a chant of his name, most of the fans were kind of split over the fact whether Toney was just trying to keep the vibe alive or simply liked the groove.
Will the move to Al-Ahli return his form or not, that remains to be seen. However, the Saudi Arabia club will be hoping against hope that they find a new marksman in the former Brentford striker. This is because they squandered too many chances in the last few games.
Al-Ahli has had a questionable start to the season with a defeat against Al-Hilal that knocked them out of the Saudi Super Cup. Despite a 2-0 win against Al-Orobah, they crashed once again against Al-Fateh by a solitary goal. Their next challenge is against a formidable Al-Nassr who have Cristiano Ronaldo as their talisman.
